Well That's One Less thing To Deal With. Likely Will Need a Good Flush & Vacuum Test Before Refilling! A New Accumulator Will Be a Must As Well! Looking At that Exposed O-Ring it Looks Like it Was A Bit Off Center When Installed. Could Also Be Wrong Size O-Ring. Man Those Are a Pain!

My cousin came by tonight to pick up some Johnny Lighting "Kings of the 1/4 mile" cars I found him and he wanted to see the Mustang. Side note, he's a professional photographer for Gasser Magazine:
Anyway, he's been into drag racing since he was a kid, he's in his mid 50s now. But we were talking about some of the ****ty wiring on my car and we discovered what this mess is/was:
They half assed wired a toggle switch under the dash to this relay and fuse (poorly) to the crappy electric fan... So, I should be able to remove all this junk and toss it and properly wire in an electric fan(s)! One less problem solved!
